i cant believe i am taking a break from largemouth bass fishing.  the Spring/Summer of 2023 has been very generous to me.  lots of 5 and 6 lb fish in my memory to think about and relive.   tough year as well in some respects.  broke a good rod recently, lots of lost lures, some fishing friendships have  atrophied.  some minor fishing heartbreaks, like loosing that giant on a popper, and finally some mysterios fish grabbed my BFS bait, only  break me off without so much as letting me see it.  i heard some great fun (and funny) discussion here on the forum.  despite making some good friends i'll never meet, i will also take a break from this forum.

 

how long will my break from LMB fishing be?  oh, that's easy.  two weeks!  14 long days of no LMB chasing.  i'm packed and headed to Brazil to harass some exotic PEACOCK BASS!!  hopefully some other weird and toothy fish grabs on.  GoPro cards formatted, batteries charged.  Passport ready.  foreign walking around money in my wallet, and key Portuguese phrases memoried and practiced...fresh braid on my reels.

 

let's do this thing!!  i'll report back in a few weeks.  i am officially on Vacation..  then when i am home, i will click "buy now" on all that hovershot stuff in my shopping cart.  have fun folks..hope you all catch that biggun in the fall jamboree.  

 

oh.  Obrigado.  Boa tarde.  (thank you, and good afternoon)  <--i hope.

Have fun, stay safe and good luck! Can’t wait to hear the stories.

Clickbait got me. Well done....

 

And I am jealous. Hope you have great success and provide us with some pics of your trip. 

If it's fall here, it's spring there, so they could be active and in spawning mode. Good Luck.

Have fun and good luck 

Catch em up DB, we’re looking forward to some good stories and great pictures of your epic adventure!

Felt like I was reeding a Yahoo! article....he got me. 

I’m still out in the Amazon.  Came in early because we caught enough today.

^ Monster bass 

What a fish! Is that an albino peacock bass?

Nice work! They look like they’d be a blast to catch.
